question.

The Hon. r. g. Horn. of Michigan,
will deliver his celebrated lecture on
s.The Labor Problem" at the Town
Hall, Friday evening, Dec. 9, under
the auspices of the Morrisville Lee
ture Association. See advertisement
in another column. Mr.. Horn was
one of the most eloquent and interest
ing speakers in Congress and always
commanded the undivided attention
of the House. AS campaign speak
err he has a national reputation, and
on the lecture platform he is seldom
equaled and never excelled. People
who have heard him deliver the lee
ture report it as being full of elo-
quence and sparkling wit, while his
common sense views commend Them
selves to the judgment of all. The
committee have decided to put the
price of admission at 25, cents and q

there are in the hall will be at the dis
posal of single admissions. No one

called out full house, and the mat

Burke read the warning. From the
general expression heard on all sides
previous to the meeting, it was not
expected that vote could be obtained
authorizing either the building of
bridge on the old site, or opening the
proposed road at present. P. X.
Gleed offered resolution, as express
ing the sense of the meeting, that the
whole subject be postponed until our
railroad debt be fully paid. Remarks
were made by Major Stafford, Austin
Wilkins, f. E. Allen, S. Harris and
Judge Powers, but no objection was
offered to the resolution, and when
put to vote it was adopted unanimous
ly. Selectman Thomas explained the
reason for deciding a small piece of
land off the cemetery to the railroad
company, and Maj. Stafford was made
agent to deed. The meeting then adj
journed. 1t was apparent that many
'sbridge" men were present, likewise
"new road men, and it is altogether
probable that after the bonded debt is
off we shall have something of time
over the question.
